Hiroshi Sugimoto is an award-winning Japanese photographer, who has his own recognizable style. He is the creator of the catalogue made of a number of photographic series, every one of which has similar themes and features. This year Sugimoto brought his Theatre Series – a collection where he captures drive-in, abandoned and Italian opera theatres. “What’s so special about taking pictures of theatres?” you will ask. Sugimoto has his own approach.
The photographer uses a long exposure of a single shot to capture millions of moving images during every film he’s working on. In the end, he gets pure white screen, showing the audience that no matter what kind of information they perceive, it is exactly what remains in their memory in the end. In another words, “everything is nothing”.
Here are some of the most memorable Sugimoto’s Theatre Series works. Terrifying yet beautiful, aren’t they?
The exhibition is open until 22 December 2017, so hurry up – only ten days left!
